1 Samuel 23:6-9
La Bible du Semeur
6 Il faut dire que quand Abiatar, fils d’Ahimélek, s’était enfui auprès de David à Qeïla, il avait emporté avec lui l’éphod servant à consulter l’Eternel.
7 On fit savoir à Saül que David était allé à Qeïla ; alors il s’écria : Dieu l’a livré en mon pouvoir, car il s’est lui-même enfermé dans un piège en entrant dans une ville qui a des portes et des verrous.
8 Il mobilisa tous ses hommes pour marcher sur Qeïla et assiéger David et sa troupe. 9 David apprit quel mauvais dessein Saül méditait contre lui. Aussi demanda-t-il au prêtre Abiatar d’apporter l’éphod.

King James Version
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
9 And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
